Dougy Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Bought this some time early this year,(April) i had been waiting on a different gunsmith to do a rebarrel but got let down, After waiting over 4 months (nearly 5) and nothing but fairy tale's i decided to take it elsewere, and after a chat with Simon from Border Barrels he recomended Dave from Valkyrie Rifles. I must say the gent is very interesting both to talk to and to listen to. The work looks good and i was pleased to have met Dave and if it shoots as good as it looks he will have more custom from myself in the future hopefully 22.250 Swaro 3-12x50 ill Sonic Mod when the weather shows signs of improving i should get out and get some 53grn Vmax heading down range tosee what its capable of. The but pad was loose after a quick tart up of the stock so its been taken off for a more per fix. Edited December 22, 2012 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onelesscharlie Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hi If Dave has done the work you will not be disappointed, he has great respect from his peers and a reputation that is second to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swift Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've got a tikka m55 that was rebarrelled from a 22/250 to 6mmbr all work done by PRS and it's the most accurate rifle I've ever owned.some say M55 is the best action tikka made, just need a standard stock for it as it's fitted with a super sport stock which is more suited for target work.
